It’s not a good idea to stress over movement perfection. It can create an unhealthy relationship to just getting out there and moving. However, understanding our patterns and having different strategies for how we move our bodies creates unlimited potential for health in the future.

In order to protect ourselves from injuries down the line, awareness is necessary. Don’t beat ourselves up if we didn’t do things absolutely perfectly, however also be aware of our tendencies to move. Is there a certain pattern that causes us pain? Chances are you are falling into the latter category and some new movement strategies are in order.

Have you ever been a movement perfectionist before?

Why do athletes get cupping?

Stephanie Stahl from CBS came to chat with me and Amanda about the benefits.

Let us know what you think!

The Phillies didn't want to comment on their players, but doctors said cupping is a popular treatment, often used with massages or acupuncture.

No bandaids 🩹 No exceptions 🚫

We have to make room for healing and new growth by letting go of the things that no longer serve us. No one else can do that for us.

Both physical and emotional, wounds are bound to happen. Each one is an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and regain our edge.

“Our wounds are the doorway to rediscovering our true nature.”

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Stephanie Neuerburg to the Podium team! 🎉

Her earliest experiences with functional movement were as an athlete, and in her 10 years of practice has grown to employ a wholistic approach in her treatments that targets the root cause of pain and dysfunction to make a lasting change for patients.

Wait, isn’t Podium focused on keeping people out of pain?

We want people to live free of pain, but sometimes it hurts when you’re healing. Just because an activity hurts, it doesn’t mean it’s actively causing you harm.

Pain in the realm of 1-4 on a scale of 1-10 can be considered a green light when under the guidance of a health professional. As the body grows in its ability to become resilient, there can be ghosts of an injury that the nervous system remembers. This is normal, and it’s okay. We’re trained to guide folks in movement while working through old injuries and pain.

When we feel an intensity level of 4-5 on a scale of 1-10, it can serve as a yellow light. This level of pain is an indication that there is a different way to accomplish a certain movement and an opportunity to understand our bodies better.

We ask all of our patients to let us know when they have this low level pain with movement. We use it to tailor treatments to their goals and help people learn to move in a way that really works for their body.

We all need a reset every once in a while. Join us for AcuYoga at 9am on September 11th at the Fishtown Green Eggs Cafe hosted by Alchemy X! This is the perfect opportunity to enhance the mind-body connection with an energetic yoga flow that culminates in an acupuncture savasana.

Together, yoga and acupuncture form a powerful experience that balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, serving as a catalyst for mental and physical health. Jule Lane will lead a vinyasa flow, and once in savasana Dr. Aidan Kaye will insert three needles in points known to reduce anxiety and regulate the autonomic nervous system.

This event is limited to 15 people, book your spot now!

Stress is inherent, but leaving it unchecked can harm both our bodies and our minds. Acupuncture offers relief from bodily pain and helps combat manifestations of stress like anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

At Podium we tap into the full power of acupuncture to support both peak physical performance and mental well-being.

What’s with the red light?

These infrared heat lamps enhance treatment in two ways - the heat increases blood flow to the area while the infrared waves speed up soft tissue healing by harnessing the power of our mitochondria 🙌🏼
